        <p>Hello and welcome to another edition of This Week in Solid!</p>

<p><a href="https://solidproject.org">Solid</a> is a set of open specifications, built on existing open standards, that describes how to build applications in such a way that users can conveniently switch between data storage providers and application providers and take the data generated along.</p>

<p>This is a weekly summary of Solid progress.</p>

<p>Want something mentioned? Contact the Solid Manager at info@solidproject.org. This Week in Solid is openly developed <a href="http://github.com/solid/solidproject.org/blob/master/_posts/this-week-in-solid/next.md">on GitHub</a>. If you find any errors in this week’s issue please <a href="https://github.com/solid/solidproject.org/pulls">submit a pull request</a>.</p>

<p>Want to get involved? <a href="https://solidproject.org/standardisation">Contributions are welcome.</a></p>

<p>Every Thursday there is an hour-long public call where newcomers can introduce themselves, anyone can ask general questions about Solid, and we recap the weeks’ works on Solid.</p>

<p>Tune in at <a href="https://zoom.us/j/261297657">this line</a>:</p>
<ul>
  <li>on the 2nd January 2020 at 16:00.</li>
  <li>on the 9th January 2020 at 10:00.</li>
  <li>on the 16th January 2020 at 16:00.</li>
  <li>on the 23rd January 2020 at 10:00.</li>

<h3 id="solidprojectorg">Solidproject.org</h3>

<p>The landing page has been redesigned, and most other pages have received a small touch-up. Additionally, most content has undergone editing to ensure the information is relevant and free of typos. All in all, the starting point for all things Solid should be more pleasant to use now.</p>

  <li><a href="https://github.com/theWebalyst">Mark Hughes</a> is working on <a href="https://github.com/theWebalyst/svelte-with-rdf-libs-webpack">showing how to use various RDF libs with Sveltejs</a> and has rdflib.js and graphy working</li>
  <li><a href="https://github.com/jeff-zucker">Jeff Zucker</a>, <a href="https://github.com/bourgeoa">Alain Bourgeois</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/Otto-AA">Otto_AA</a> are  releasing <a href="https://github.com/jeff-zucker/solid-file-client">version 1.0.0 of Solid-File-Client</a>, a library of methods to manage Solid files and folders that now has the ability to copy or move entire folder trees from one pod to another or back and forth between a pod and a local file system. It supports both text and binary files and works in either a browser or node/console context. Also new in this version is extensive support for linked resources (.acl and .meta files). By default linked resources are copied, moved, and deleted with their associated resource, but options allow you to adjust that behavior as well as to discover the location of linked resources. <a href="https://forum.solidproject.org/t/announce-much-updated-solid-file-client/2546/33">Read the release announcement.</a></li>
